We are pleased to announce, as of August 1st, 2012, Hilary Specht Coffey is the
new owner of Period Corsets. After 17 years in business, Susan Davis and Becky
Kaufman are excited to be passing the torch to Hilary. For the past 12 years,
Hilary has been an integral part of the company's leadership and growth.
Period Corsets began in 1997 with two corset styles, and since then has created
36 different products, and innumerable custom garments. With the business at an all-time
high and our desire to invest our time in other ventures, Period Corsets® is
ripe to continue thriving with Hilary at the helm; we look forward to seeing
what new places Hilary takes the business.
While Hilary will be taking ownership of the company, the current staff will
remain the same and Becky and Susan
will continue to consult with Period Corsets®. We are excited that Period
Corsets’ tradition of providing quality workmanship, innovation and superior
customer service will continue into the future.
Thank you to everyone, all our Period Corsets® customers and vendors who
have supported us all these years. We are only here because of you.
